A new fort for the securing of the haven well provided with Ordnance 32. Retrenchments newly made well fortified and provided with shot and Ordnance against the comming of the shippes as also for the defence of the haven insomuch that power nor force will not prevaile here by reason the Forts are so well planted with Ordnance and the ships must sayle very near them to avoid the shelves and sands 33. This was the old haven where they were wont to unlade their shippes and barkes and is called the olde haven here men may sayle betweene the cliffes with boates and barkes Thus loving Reader and Spectatour you have the declaration of this Mappe which will give you a farther demonstration of the Citty and all appendices Relation of what lately happened at the taking of the Citty and Castle of Pignerolle and the pillaging of Rivolle by Monsieur de Crequy THE armes of the King having appeased and setled the great troubles of his Kingdome and his lillies flourishing with a sweet tranquillity beyond desire and expectation his Majestie would now cause the enemies of his Crowne to be sensible of the power and endeavours of the same and to that end and purpose conducted his forces into Italy under the cōmand of my Lord the Cardinall of Richelieu Where his Highnesse of Savoy whose spirit can never be at rest had for a certaine space of time given threatning speaches that hee would employ his forces thither for the service of his Majesty and to this effect did offer and present unto the King all manner of submission in true and certaine fidelity assuring my Lord the Cardinall of Richelieu who was Commander and leader of the Kings army of free passage into Italy The Lord Cardinall whose judgement and understanding vertue hath adorned and endued with all manner of qualities required in a General of an army well knowing by experience that the foresaid his Highnesse of Savoy had oftentimes made the like and great protestations to the King and that notwithstanding there was never any trust or credence to be given to his promises not at this time degenerating from his excellent disposition would not accept of this his offer unlesse first of all hee would deliver into his hands divers Townes which are upon the passage into Italy to the end that he might retaine them within the limits of reason if perchance hee would doe that which should proove contrary to the thing he had promised unto the King The Duke of Savoy not knowing how he might closely hide and afterwards bring to passe his treacherous intention well knowing that the Cardinall did use a great deale of prudence and policy and that his Romish Cardinalls hat did not any way diminish or hinder his valour resolved to grant him his demaund that thereby he might the better colour over his pernicious designe But the said Lord Cardinall using a great deale of requisite providence and precaution according to his accustomed manner placed strong garrisons into those townes which the Duke of Savoy had given into his possession and in the meane space advanced his Army into Italy ever being vigilant and having an especiall care of all the actions and passages of his Highnesse of Savoy expecting no other issue nor performance of his promise but onely a marke and token of his infidelity In the meane time whilest the Army of the King conducted under the command of the Cardinall Richelieu marched and advanced into Italy and that they must needs come unto hands with some troopes of Spanish his Highnesse of Savoy being inspired with an evill winde as that is ordinary to him betakes himselfe to his accustomed inconstancy and infidelity trusting that by such an action he should hinder and overthrow the designe and intention of his Majesty But God who commands the very secrets of the King would not suffer his will and intention to prevaile and take effect Whereupon having performed this stratagem the Lord Cardinall possessed himselfe of all the townes which he retained for hostage and gave the towne of Rivolle to to his souldiers for pillage Which being done hee caused certaine Regiments cōducted under the hand of the Lord Marshal de Crequi to march toward the Towne and Castle of Pignerolle which the said Lord Marshall invested with a diligence and vigilancie agreeable to such a valorous courage And at the very first vollie of Canon shot he reduced the same towne under the command and obedience of the King without losse of any of his men The Lord Marshall besides this well knowing that it was necessary and requisite furiously to assault the Cittadell or Castle before the same could be constrained to yeeld hee caused all his batteries to shoote thereby to make tryall whether or no those within the Castle were resolved to keepe the same Those within having made certaine shot at the Kings forces the Lord de Crequi caused a generall assault to be made in which assault the Count de Saulx did behave himselfe most valiantly obtaining to himselfe the Crowne of the walls by scanding the first and chiefe Bul warke which he gained with an invincible courage The enemie having retired themselves into the strong hold or Fort within the Castle the Lord de Crequy caused a retreate to be founded and the next day following those within the Castle finding themselves sorely prest and hardly put to it and having also lost their principall Bulwarke seeing also that the Lord de Crequi had mastered the towne then they made signe for a parley The Lord Marshall de Crequy sent unto them to know what they demanded their answer was to yeeld but on this condition that faithfull promise might be made unto them that ever after they might remaine under the government and obedience of the King which the said Lord Marshall de Crequi assured them of And the one and thirtieth day of March being Easterday at seven a clocke in the morning these Lords the Lord Marshall de Crequi Count de Saulx and de Villeroy entred into the Castle with two Companies of foote The Duke of Savoy at the present is much perplexed and knowes not which way to turne himselfe for whithersoever hee lookes hee sees his owne calamity the ruine and destruction of his Country having now lost Rivolle Pignerolle and other places for his safety and which indeede were bulwarks unto Italy This is all that passed in Piedmont at the taking of the Towne and Castle of Pignerolle unto which Castle the Lord Marshall de Crequy addes all necessaries and carries all possible care for the keeping and maintaining of the same under the Crowne and obedience of France O you French Nation for this must you make prayers and supplications unto the Almighty that he will be pleased to blesse and preserve his Annointed Lewis the Iust beseeching his Majesty to afford us this grace and favour that we may see this King flourish and to heape upon our King blessings and happinesse giving him a successful offspring to favor our Prince Dauphin giving him victory over all his enemies Heaven grant that our prayers may be received at his hands to whom we direct them and that his great goodnesse be pleased to grant us whatsoever we demand blessing our King directing his enterprises giving him the accomplishment of all his good intentions with the augmentation and increase of his Crowne and Kingdome FJNJS
